MWIS’ i-Tech Packaged Sewage Treatment Plant featured as one of UN WIPO’s Green Urban Energy Solutions in the Asia-Pacific Region

Manila Water Infratech Solutions’ (MWIS) i-TECH Packaged Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) has been featured in the Green Technology Book – EXPO 2025 Special Edition, published by the United Nation’s World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).

This special edition, launched in preparation for EXPO 2025 in Osaka, Japan, showcases over 200 energy technologies and solutions relevant to the Asia-Pacific region—the fastest-growing region in the world and home to 60% of the global population. With its scale, rapid growth, and high energy intensity, Asia plays a critical role in the global energy transition.

Manila Water Infratech Solutions’ i-TECH Packaged STP has been featured in the Green Technology Book – EXPO 2025 Special Edition, published by the United Nation’s World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).

The said publication is dedicated to the diffusion of innovative green technologies by connecting the technology seekers and providers. It highlights real solutions that are shaping a sustainable future, placing innovation, technology, and intellectual property at the forefront of climate action.

According to the UN WIPO, water security remains critical, particularly in developing countries, as urban systems demand substantial energy for pumping, purification, and distribution. Advanced solutions like smart metering, energy-efficient infrastructure, and improved management can optimize usage, while innovations in wastewater treatment enable energy recovery, reducing overall consumption and supporting more sustainable urban water systems.

Among the technology solutions highlighted in the section 'Green Urban Energy Solutions in the Asia-Pacific Region – Energy Efficiency for Water Utilities,' the i-TECH Packaged STP was recognized as a new technology for efficient wastewater treatment in small to medium settings with the use of advanced membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology.

The said innovation supports the push for energy-efficient aeration which is crucial for effective wastewater treatment. The treated water produced by MBR systems is suitable for reuse in applications such as irrigation and industrial processes. Since it’s compact, it also requires less space than conventional treatment setups, making it ideal for urban environments. Additionally, MBR technology reduces the amount of sludge generated, which helps lower disposal costs. It also removes more contaminants, including bacteria and viruses, making it a more effective and sustainable solution.

MBR systems, now increasingly adopted in China and Japan, are commonly used in urban wastewater treatment, industrial recycling, and decentralized setups in buildings or small communities due to its efficiency and ability to support water reuse, making it a valuable tool in modern water management strategies.

This feature reflects MWIS’s commitment to delivering smart, scalable, and sustainable water solutions for communities and industries. As a digital-first, text-light, and accessible resource, the Green Technology Book offers policymakers, businesses, innovators, and solution seekers a forward-looking perspective on how energy technologies can drive sustainability.
